First, that’s a stupid idea. We have no friends in the Syrian civil war, and we should stay out.

Islamists killing each other are not killing anyone else.

It seems very equitable to me.

Where, again - seemingly endlessly again - is our dysfunctional House Of Representatives who has the principal authority as to whether these actions are funded?
